   Requires `onlyTypes=true`. Implies `useDate=string` and `stringEnums=true`. This option is to generate types that can be directly used with marshalling/unmarshalling Protobuf messages serialized as JSON.  
   You may also want to set `useOptionals=all`, as gRPC gateways are not required to send default value for scalar values.
 
-### Only Types
-
-If you're looking for `ts-proto` to generate only types for your Protobuf types then passing all three of `outputEncodeMethods`, `outputJsonMethods`, and `outputClientImpl` as `false` is probably what you want, i.e.:
-
-`--ts_proto_opt=onlyTypes=true`.

 ### NestJS Support
 
 We have a great way of working together with [nestjs](https://docs.nestjs.com/microservices/grpc). `ts-proto` generates `interfaces` and `decorators` for you controller, client. For more information see the [nestjs readme](NESTJS.markdown).
